EXHIBIT 13

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Roadway Corporation (the Company) is a holding company with two primary
operating entities, Roadway Express, Inc. (Roadway Express) and Roadway Next Day
Corporation (Roadway Next Day). Roadway Express operates in one business
segment, long-haul less-than-truckload (LTL) freight services throughout North
America. Service within Canada is provided by Reimer Express Lines Ltd., and
service in Mexico is provided by Roadway Express S.A. de C.V. Roadway Next Day,
formerly known as Arnold Industries, Inc. (Arnold), was acquired on November 30,
2001 and operates in two business segments - New Penn Motor Express, Inc. (New
Penn), which provides regional next-day LTL freight services, and Arnold
Transportation Services (ATS) which provides truckload (TL) freight services. On
December 26, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to sell ATS. The
transaction closed on January 23, 2003. No significant gain or loss occurred as
a result of this transaction. The Company has reported ATS as a discontinued
operation for all periods presented and as a result, Roadway Next Day now
operates in one business segment, regional next-day LTL.


2002 COMPARED TO 2001

Consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared
to the year ended December 31, 2001.

The Company's net income for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $38.9 million
or $2.05 per share (diluted), an increase of 26.2% when compared to net income
of $30.8 million or $1.64 per share (diluted) for the year ended December 31,
2001. Revenue from continuing operations was $3.01 billion in 2002 versus $2.78
billion in 2001, an 8.3% increase. The operating ratio (operating expenses as a
percentage of revenue) for the Company improved to 96.9% from 97.9% in 2001.
Operating income from continuing operations was $91.8 million in 2002, compared
to $58.7 million in 2001, a 56.5% increase. The improved financial results in
2002 are primarily the result of two significant factors. First, the results in
2002 include a full year of the operations of Roadway Next Day, as compared to
2001, which included the operating results of Roadway Next Day for only one
month subsequent to its acquisition on November 30, 2001. Second, the abrupt
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection filing and cessation of operations on September
2, 2002 by Consolidated Freightways, one of Roadway Express' major competitors,
resulted in increased freight levels for Roadway Express during the fourth
quarter of 2002. The increased freight levels in the fourth quarter nearly
offset the effect of the slow economic recovery that we experienced in the first
three quarters of 2002. The impact of the Consolidated Freightways shutdown is
discussed in more detail below under Roadway Express results of operations.


                                       1

In December 2002, we entered into an agreement to sell ATS, which, as a
truckload carrier, is not consistent with our core LTL strategy. For accounting
purposes, ATS' results have been reported as a discontinued operation and its
earnings removed from operating income. For comparative purposes, reporting ATS
as a discontinued operation has the net effect of reducing 2002 annual revenue
by $171 million and operating income by $6.1 million. The Company is maintaining
reserves for certain casualty claims relating to ATS, despite the disposition.
We do not expect there will be any significant continuing involvement with ATS
subsequent to the transaction closing date.

The increase in net other expense to $29.8 million in 2002 from $5.8 million in
2001 is primarily due to the financing costs associated with the Roadway Next
Day acquisition. The effective tax rate from continuing operations was 43.4% in
2002 compared with 42.0% in 2001. This tax rate differs from the federal
statutory rate due to the impact of state taxes, taxes on foreign operations,
and non-deductible operating expenses.


Roadway Express results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002
compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $2.8 billion, up 1.2% over
2001. Through the first three quarters of 2002, revenue was 6.9% lower than in
2001; in the fourth quarter, it was 19.7% higher than 2001. The economic
downturn that began in the third quarter of 2000 continued to impact Roadway
Express through the third quarter of 2002. Daily tonnage levels in January 2002
were 18% below those in January 2001. Each month after January showed
progressive improvements in daily tonnage levels. The tonnage recovery could be
characterized as very slow but steady in the first two quarters, and nearly flat
in the third quarter.

The abrupt shutdown on September 2, 2002 by Consolidated Freightways, one of
Roadway Express' major competitors, had virtually no impact on Roadway Express'
results of operations until the fourth quarter which began on September 8, 2002.
Roadway Express recognizes revenue upon delivery of freight, and most shipments
are delivered three to five days after pickup. During the fourth quarter of
2002, the additional freight available to the remaining LTL carriers
significantly improved Roadway Express' operations. Roadway Express absorbed
this additional freight without adding capacity, which allowed us to take
advantage of our existing infrastructure and improve profitability beginning in
the fourth quarter. The following tables show the impact on tonnage, shipments,
and operating ratio due to the shutdown of Consolidated Freightways by comparing
statistics from the three quarters ended September 7, 2002 and the fourth
quarter ended December 31, 2002 to the same quarters in the prior year.

Management expects that the positive tonnage comparisons noted in the fourth
quarter of 2002 because of the shutdown of Consolidated Freightways will
continue through the first three quarters of 2003.

Net revenue per ton for the year 2002 was $385.60, up 3.0% compared to the prior
year. The variable rate fuel surcharge averaged 2.0% of revenue during 2002,
compared to 2.7% of revenue in 2001. The variable rate fuel surcharge, assessed
by Roadway Express when the national average price of diesel fuel exceeds $1.10
per gallon, has been in effect at varying rates since the third quarter of 1999.
Without the revenue reduction relating to the reduced fuel surcharge, freight
rates were up 3.7% compared to 2001. Base freight rates were impacted by the
general rate increases effective in August of 2001 and 2002, freight mix
changes, and continuing adjustments in contract rates. The increase in rates,
despite the reduced business levels experienced during the first three quarters
of the year, reflects the relatively stable pricing environment in the LTL
marketplace, and our customers' recognition of the value of our product
offerings and the quality of our service. Our largest revenue increase was in
specialized domestic products, which grew 5.4%. Specialized domestic products
include Time-Critical, Ocean Service, Exhibit Service, International North
America, Protective Services, and Roadway Air.

Salaries, wages, and benefits as a percentage of revenue decreased to 63.8%,
down from 64.1% in 2001. This improvement was driven by the significant increase
in tonnage during the fourth quarter, as discussed above, and ongoing cost
control initiatives throughout the organization. These improvements were offset
by increased expense of $12 million related to the Company-sponsored pension
plan, which was driven by poor investment performance. Management expects that
the poor investment performance in 2002, coupled with reductions in the discount
rate assumption and expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets
will cause the pension expense to increase by approximately $15 million in 2003.
In addition, there was an increase in the variable pay related to performance
due to the improved operating profit this year. Roadway Express averaged 24,800
employees during 2002, down 5% from the 2001 average of 26,100.

With the exception of purchased transportation and insurance and claims expense,
all other operating expenses showed year-over-year improvement as a percentage
of revenue. Over one-half of the


                                       3

improvement in operating supplies and expenses was due to lower fuel costs. This
reduction in fuel prices is reflected in the lower fuel surcharge discussed
above.

Purchased transportation expense increased 6% because of the increase in
linehaul miles run on the railroads, and the air freight expenses associated
with our new Roadway Air service offering.

Insurance and claims expense increased 27% due to a near doubling of property
damage and public liability expense resulting from settlements of several severe
cases during 2002. This increase was partially offset by a 10% reduction in
cargo claims expense. Our programs emphasizing employee safety, accident
prevention, and cargo integrity have resulted in reductions in the frequency of
cargo claims, workers' compensation and property damage and public liability
claims. Heightened security measures have been enacted to protect our employees,
our customers' freight, and our property and equipment from the adverse effects
of criminal activities. The Company has been able to maintain adequate insurance
coverage, and insurance premium increases were moderate.

Operating income of $67.7 million, or 2.4% of revenue compares favorably to
operating income of $61.5 million, or 2.2% of revenue in 2001, despite the
decline in tonnage during 2002.

The following table shows a comparison of the Roadway Express operating
statistics for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001:

New Penn results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Revenue was $213 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Daily tonnage
levels during January were 13% lower than 2001's pre-acquisition business levels
due to the economic downturn. Following the February 2002 closing of a
significant competitor in the northeast, New Penn's daily business levels
improved, despite the loss of a major customer. The shutdown of Consolidated
Freightways did not benefit New Penn because Consolidated did not operate in the
next-day market. New Penn implemented a general rate increase effective August
4, 2002. New Penn's operating ratio was 92.7% in the first quarter, and improved
to 87.6% in quarters two through four. The operating ratio for New Penn was
88.7% for the year, generating operating income of $24.1 million.

New Penn's results of operations for 2001 only include the month of December,
after the acquisition of Roadway Next Day, and therefore are not comparable to
the 2002 results.

2001 COMPARED TO 2000

The Company's net income of $30.8 million or $1.64 per share (diluted) for the
year ended December 31, 2001 declined from $56.5 million or $2.98 per share
(diluted) for the prior year. Deteriorating economic conditions during 2001 led
to a tonnage decline at Roadway Express of 12.6%, or over 1 million tons
compared to the prior year. The operating ratio from continuing operations for
the Company deteriorated to 97.9% from 96.8% in 2000. Net revenue was $2.78
billion in 2001 versus $3.04 billion in 2000, an 8.6% decline.

Roadway Express' operating income of $61.5 million, or 2.2% of revenue compares
to an operating income of $96.4 million, or 3.2% of revenue in 2000. New Penn's
operating income was $0.9 million, or 6.6% of revenue. Consolidated operating
income from continuing operations was $58.7 million, or 2.1% of revenue, and
includes $3.7 million of unallocated corporate expenses. These results include
New Penn from December 1, 2001, which added $14 million of revenue, or less than
1% of the total for 2001.


                                       5

The net other expense of $5.8 million is due to an employment-related legal
judgement, other non-operating expenses of $0.9 million, and net interest
expense of $0.4 million during the year. The income tax rate of 42.0% compares
with 42.5% in 2000. The Company's tax rate in 2001 differs from the federal
statutory rate due to non-deductible operating expenses, state income taxes, and
the impact of foreign operations.

The following discussion covers the results of Roadway Express only. New Penn's
results of operations for 2001 only include the month of December, after the
acquisition of Roadway Next Day, and therefore are not included in this
discussion.

Revenue per ton for Roadway Express, excluding a 0.5% reduction in the fuel
surcharge, was 4.5% higher than 2000. Roadway Express did not encounter
significant changes in the overall characteristics of its freight, such that the
average shipment size increased six pounds to 1,135 pounds, and the average
length of haul increased to 1,312 miles, up 11 miles over 2000. Revenue declined
in all of our service offerings except for specialized domestic products, which
grew 4.2%.

Salaries, wages, and benefits increased to 63.9% of revenue, up from 62.2% in
2000. 1.2% of this increase is attributable to employee health and pension
benefits, and 0.5% is attributable to driver wage expenses. Intercity drivers
drove a greater percentage of the linehaul miles compared to a reduced
percentage utilizing railroads. Driver wages in the city operation increased as
a percentage of revenue as the Company continued to maintain coverage with all
customers, despite reduced tonnage. All other salary and wage related expenses
declined consistent with business levels. Due to the reduced business levels,
the Company's workforce was reduced by 9% through layoffs and hiring
restrictions, when compared to the year 2000.

Operating supplies and expenses dropped 11.8%, which was in line with reduced
business volume. Costs which declined greater than business levels were fuel,
pickup and delivery equipment rents, and terminal supplies. Long term tractor
lease expense increased 16%, reflecting the replacement of older linehaul
tractors with new, leased equipment.

Purchased transportation costs declined 10.5%, with railroad use 20% below a
year ago. Railroad miles decreased to 25.3% of linehaul miles, compared to 27.9%
in 2000. Canadian and Mexican owner operator costs increased by 6.2%, reflecting
the continued growth of our North American network.

The 26% decrease in claims and insurance expense reflects a reduction in costs
associated with cargo loss and damage and public liability claims. These
decreases reflect the reduction of business levels, improved cargo-handling
performance, and improved driver safety performance.

Depreciation expense increased 28.4%, reflecting recent capital expenditures for
tractors, trailers, and information technology expenditures.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At the end of 2002, cash and marketable securities amounted to $107 million, a
$3.5 million decrease from year-end 2001. The decrease in cash provided by
operating activities, despite higher income from continuing operations, was
caused by an increase in net working capital assets other than cash, and is
consistent with the increased business levels during the fourth quarter. Also,
during 2002 we used $11.8


                                       6

million of cash for the purchase of Arnold shares presented for redemption, and
$10.7 million for the purchase of Company stock to fund stock plans.

Net capital expenditures for operating property of $66.7 million in 2002 were up
slightly compared to $66.1 million in 2001. Capital expenditures were financed
primarily through internally generated funds. Future expenditures are expected
to be financed in a similar manner, except for planned replacement of Roadway
Express' linehaul tractors through operating lease arrangements. Capital
expenditures of $95 million to $105 million are expected for 2003. The capital
expenditures are primarily designated for revenue equipment, facilities, and
information systems. Management believes that cash flows from operations and
current financing sources will be sufficient to support its working capital
needs, projected capital expenditures, dividends to shareholders, and
anticipated expenditures for other corporate purposes.

The $24 million use of cash for business acquisitions was primarily for payment
of income taxes related to the sale of Arnold's logistics division (ARLO)
concurrent with the purchase of Roadway Next Day, and payment of additional
transaction fees related to the acquisition of Roadway Next Day.

The Company was debt free until the acquisition of Roadway Next Day in November
2001. The acquisition was financed with borrowings under a new credit facility,
proceeds from an accounts receivable securitization, the issuance of $225
million in senior notes, and available cash.

The credit facility consists of a five-year, $215 million senior revolving
credit facility with a $165 million sublimit for letters of credit, and a
five-year, $175 million senior term loan. On August 6, 2002, the Company
completed Amendment 1 to the credit agreement which increased the size of the
revolving credit facility from $150 million to $215 million and increased the
sublimit for letters of credit from $100 million to $165 million. This amendment
was effected to allow for adequate letters of credit availability to meet
insurance requirements. As of December 31, 2002, there were no amounts
outstanding under the revolving credit facility, but availability had been
reduced by $112 million as a result of the issuance of letters of credit,
primarily related to casualty claims.

The initial senior term loan balance of $175 million was reduced by $75 million
in the fourth quarter of 2001, using the after-tax proceeds from the sale of
ARLO. Repayments of $18 million were made on this loan during 2002. As of
December 31, 2002, $82 million was outstanding under the term loan facility,
with quarterly installments ranging from $2.4 million in 2003 to $4.8 million in
2006. Under certain conditions, mandatory prepayments may be required under the
credit facility. A mandatory prepayment of $8 million was made on the term loan
in 2002, related to the sale of ARLO. Additionally, a mandatory prepayment of
$24 million was made on the term loan in January 2003 upon the completion of the
sale of ATS. The term loan accrued interest at the rate of 2.91% as of December
31, 2002.

The Company also issued $225 million of 8.25% senior notes due December 1, 2008
in connection with the Roadway Next Day acquisition. Interest is due
semi-annually on June 1 and December 1.

The Company's Canadian subsidiary also has a $10 million credit facility
available for general corporate purposes under a secured revolving line of
credit and bankers' acceptances. At December 31, 2002, there were no amounts
outstanding on this facility.


                                       7

The Company had outstanding debt of $307 million, $33.7 million of which is
classified as current on the December 31, 2002 balance sheet. Remaining
borrowing capacity of $113 million was available under the arrangements
described above at December 31, 2002.

The financing arrangements include covenants that require the Company to comply
with certain financial ratios, including leverage and fixed-charge coverage
ratios, and maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth. The Company
was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2002.

Under the accounts receivable securitization arrangement, which has a 3-year
term, Roadway Express can finance up to $200 million of its domestic accounts
receivable. Under this arrangement, undivided interests in Roadway Express'
domestic accounts receivable are sold through a special purpose entity (SPE), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Roadway Express, without recourse, to an unrelated
third party financial conduit. At December 31, 2002, undivided interests in the
accounts receivable pool aggregating $100 million were sold under this
arrangement, leaving an additional $100 million available. This arrangement
allowed Roadway Express to immediately use the $100 million to be collected on
accounts receivable at an effective interest rate of 3.09% in 2002.

The arrangement provides that Roadway Express' new accounts receivable are
immediately sold to the SPE. Roadway Express, through its SPE, retains the risk
of credit loss on the receivables. The conduit has collection rights to recover
payments from the designated accounts receivable and Roadway Express retains
collection and administrative responsibilities for the accounts receivable.

In 2003, we intend to use currently held treasury shares to fund executive stock
compensation plans and matching contributions to our 401(k) plan. The use of
these treasury shares could increase our shares outstanding by as much as 3%
during 2003. During 2002, we funded these plans with cash in the amount of $20
million. Using the available treasury shares will give us additional
flexibility. We intend to extinguish the outstanding debt as available cash
flows permit, which will increase the Company's ability to move forward with
strategic initiatives.

The Company's pension plan assets declined 15.8% in 2002 and 10.2% in 2001 due
to poor investment performance, in addition to the $35 million of benefits paid.
This has resulted in a requirement to fund the pension plan beginning in 2004
for the plan year 2003. The Company intends to fund the plan in 2003 by
contributing between $8 million and $20 million to the plan. In 2004 and beyond,
we anticipate funding requirements at amounts roughly comparable to the periodic
pension expense recognized. As discussed in the results of operations above, the
decline in the pension plan assets has caused an increase in pension expense in
2002, and is expected to cause further increases in 2003.

The impact of inflation on operating expenses has not been significant in recent
years.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
period, the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Many
of these estimates and assumptions are based on the Company's critical
accounting policies as described below. Management


                                       8

has applied these policies on a consistent basis from year to year. Actual
results could differ from these estimates. Additionally, the Company's Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors has been informed by management and its
independent auditors of the significance, sensitivity, and reasonableness of
these estimates.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue as earned on the date of freight delivery to the
consignee. At December 31, 2002 the Company had $37.2 million of in-transit
revenue in the system at various stages of completion, from pick up at origin,
to ready for delivery at destination. The Company has accounting and control
systems, and business processes in place to track these shipments accurately to
recognize revenue when delivery is complete.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company sells services and extends credit based on an evaluation of the
customer's financial condition, without requiring collateral, except in
situations where poor credit history has been demonstrated. Exposure to losses
on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition.
The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains adequate
allowances for anticipated losses. These allowances for doubtful accounts,
included as an adjusting component of accounts receivable, were $8.4 million at
December 31, 2002 and $8.2 million at December 31, 2001. In 2001, we made an
additional allowance for a large customer in financial difficulty. These
additional allowances were not necessary in 2002. These allowances are based on
categories of aged receivables and historical collection results, and include
provisions for revenue adjustments arising from the complex nature of freight
rates.

Casualty claims

Casualty claim reserves represent management's estimates of claims for property
damage, public liability and workers' compensation. The Company manages casualty
claims with the assistance of a third party administrator (TPA) along with
oversight by a major risk management provider. The Company is self-insured for
these claims with retention generally limited to $3 million.

The Company promotes prevention as a key component in minimizing exposure to
casualty claim losses. We have developed comprehensive programs that emphasize
and encourage employee safety, accident prevention, and a vendor selection
process that insures that our suppliers have safety practices and insurance
coverage compatible with ours. These programs include individual and team
recognition and awards for safety and safety improvement, and extensive
measurements of safety performance in all major work disciplines. The Company
has made significant improvements in its safety records in recent years while
recognizing opportunities for continued improvement.

When accidents or injuries occur, their outcomes are managed closely to bring
them to conclusion efficiently, fairly, and quickly by the Company, its TPA, and
risk management provider. Processes are in place to identify, evaluate, and
develop individual cases as soon as possible, to facilitate recovery and return
to work, or to mitigate damages. The Company has developed an extensive program
to aid the employee's recovery from injury, return to work, and allow resumption
of the individual's normal lifestyle.


                                       9

The liability balances are closely monitored by the Company and its TPA using
adjuster evaluations of each claim and a statistical benchmarking database for
analysis of reserve accuracy. The Company's casualty claim trends have shown
improvement over several years resulting from safety performance, medical
guidance, return-to-work programs, and case management and closure. Open
workers' compensation claims are compared in the aggregate against an insurance
industry database for an overall evaluation of consistent reserve practices. All
cases are monitored on a statistical basis to evaluate development patterns and
reporting of new cases. Closed cases are also measured against the database to
monitor results. This extensive analysis enables the Company to estimate worker
compensation reserves, provide for incurred but not reported cases, and
development patterns of cases consistently and adequately. Property damage and
public liability cases are managed in a similar manner, but an industry database
is not available to benchmark reserves. All major cases are reviewed and
evaluated at least each quarter by a high-level management team which evaluates
the Company's exposure from the aspects of legal, risk and financial management.
At December 31, 2002 the Company had reserve balances for casualty claims of
$91.1 million, and had recognized self-insurance expenses during 2002 of $67.7
million. A 1% variance in the reserve accuracy would impact the expenses by
$911,000. Expenses resulting from workers' compensation claims are included in
salaries, wages, and benefits in the accompanying statements of consolidated
income, while property damage and public liability expenses are a component of
insurance and claims expense.

Customer claims

Reserves for cargo claims, resulting from damage or loss of our customers'
freight, and overcharge claims, resulting from customer rating disputes, are
necessary because claims can arise several months after the transportation
service has been provided by the Company. These estimates are based on current
business levels, recent and historic claim trends, and statistical data on
claims incurred but not reported. The trends on these claims have improved
significantly in recent years due to our programs to protect freight through
extensive employee training, customer communication, and increasing employee
awareness of the business impacts of cargo claims. Improved data systems and
processes have also reduced overcharge claims significantly. At December 31,
2002 reserve balances for these claims were $10.6 million.

Contingencies

The Company maintains reserves for litigation and contingent liabilities. The
Company has a process in place, primarily utilizing management's legal counsel
with necessary input and advice from business unit managers, risk managers and
financial managers, to monitor and assess reserves for these liabilities. The
Company has placed these contingencies into three categories: environmental
liabilities, income tax contingencies, and other general contingencies. These
general contingencies arise from the normal conduct of business, and minimal
reserves have been deemed necessary.

The Company receives notices from the EPA from time to time identifying it as a
potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act for various Superfund sites. Such designations
are made regardless of the Company's limited involvement at each site. The
Company accrues for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations
when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company believes
that its obligation with regard to these sites is not significant.


                                       10

The Company's former parent is currently under examination by the Internal
Revenue Service for tax years 1994 and 1995, years prior to the spin-off of the
Company. The IRS has proposed substantial adjustments for these tax years for
multi-employer pension plan deductions. The IRS is challenging the timing, not
the validity of these deductions. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate
outcome of this matter; however, its former parent has filed a petition in the
United States Tax Court to contest the proposed adjustments.

Under a tax sharing agreement entered into by the Company and its former parent
at the time of the spin-off, the Company is obligated to reimburse the former
parent for any additional taxes and interest that relate to the Company's
business prior to the spin-off. The amount and timing of such payments is
dependent on the ultimate resolution of the former parent's disputes with the
IRS and the determination of the nature and extent of the obligations under the
tax sharing agreement. On January 16, 2003, the Company made a $14 million
payment to its former parent under the tax sharing agreement for taxes and
interest related to certain of the proposed adjustments for tax years 1994 and
1995. The Company estimates the possible range of the remaining payments that
may be due to the former parent to be approximately $0 to $16 million in
additional taxes and $0 to $9 million in related interest, net of tax benefit.
The Company has established what it believes to be adequate reserves with
respect to these proposed adjustments. There can be no assurance that the timing
or the amount of any liability of the Company to the former parent will not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial
position or cash flows.

Deferred income tax valuation allowance

The Company has valuation allowances on certain deferred tax assets amounting to
$2.2 million at December 31, 2002 on total deferred tax assets of $139.7
million. The valuation allowances relate to potentially unrecoverable loss carry
forwards for a portion of the Company's total foreign loss carry forwards of
$6.4 million. We have not established a valuation allowance when the recovery is
more likely than not. Recovery of these deferred tax assets is dependent on
attaining profitability in the related foreign operations.

Pension and postretirement heath care

The Company has established reserves for future benefit costs related to
non-bargaining unit employees' defined benefit pension and postretirement health
care benefit plans totaling $135.1 million as of December 31, 2002. The Company
has determined the discount rate and long-term asset return assumptions based on
historic experience, comparison to market measures, and consultation with
actuarial service providers. The current discount rate assumption was reduced
from 7.50% at December 31, 2001 to 6.75% at December 31, 2002. This discount
rate is expected to be within the range of rates indicated in survey data made
available by the plan's actuary and approximates the Moody's AA corporate bond
yield at the year end measurement date. The current long term return on asset
assumption has been reduced from 9.50% at January 1, 2002 to 8.50% at January 1,
2003, due to recent market performance. The change in expected long-term return
on assets would have increased operating expense and the related liability
reserve in 2002 for the Company sponsored pension plan by approximately $3.1
million.

Goodwill


                                       11

As of December 31, 2002, the Company had net unamortized goodwill of $283.9
million, including $269.1 million of goodwill recorded in connection with the
Company's acquisition of Roadway Next Day on November 30, 2001. Goodwill
represents costs in excess of net assets of acquired businesses.

The Company completed the required transitional goodwill impairment test for all
reporting units effective June 15, 2002 which did not indicate any impairment.
As a result of finalizing the Roadway Next Day purchase price allocation during
the fourth quarter, and the agreement to sell ATS, all goodwill resulting from
the Roadway Next Day acquisition has been recorded in the New Penn business
segment at December 31, 2002. The Company updated its goodwill impairment test
at December 31, 2002. The performance of the updated impairment test did not
indicate any impairment of goodwill. Key to the results of this test was the
projected operating results and cash flows of New Penn. Historically, New Penn
has generated more profit than needed to cross the hurdle of our impairment
test. In 2002, they did not, due to reduced business volumes. We believe that in
2003 and beyond, operating results and cash flows will increase and allow New
Penn to operate profitably enough to pass the impairment test.

If impairment indicators were present, the fair value of the reporting unit
goodwill would be determined and compared to its carrying value. Any impairment
loss would be recognized accordingly. The Company expects to perform the
required annual goodwill impairment assessment on a recurring basis at the end
of the second quarter each year, or more frequently should any indicators of
possible impairment be identified.


OTHER MATTERS

Under the terms of the Teamster contract, wage and benefit increases
approximating 2% were effective April 1, 2002, with an additional increase
designated for benefits of approximately 2.1% effective August 1, 2002. The
current contract will expire on March 31, 2003. Roadway Express, along with
other motor carriers, is currently involved in multi-employer collective
bargaining for settlement of a new contract. Negotiations with the Teamsters
began on October 8, 2002. Building on momentum from the completion of local or
supplemental contracts, management and Teamster negotiators continue to work for
early settlement of the national portions of the labor agreement. Both parties
recognize the benefits in the marketplace of an early agreement, and are making
efforts to accomplish this task.

The Company has interest rate swap agreements with major commercial banks to fix
the interest rate of its trailer leases from previous variable interest rates
principally based on LIBOR. The value of the leases upon which the payments are
based was not changed. The agreements, which expire from 2003 to 2004, fix the
Company's interest costs at rates varying from 5.62% to 6.39% on leases with a
notional amount of $14.4 million, and prevent the Company's earnings from being
directly affected by changes in interest rates related to its trailer leases.
The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps at December 31, 2002 is a
liability of approximately $326,000, net of income taxes, and has been
determined using proprietary financial models developed by the lending
institutions which are counterparties to the swap arrangements.

The Company may incur economic losses due to adverse changes in foreign currency
exchange rates, primarily with fluctuations in the Canadian dollar and Mexican
peso. A 10% adverse change in foreign


                                       12

currency exchange rates would have no material impact on future cash flows and
earnings of the Company.

Potential fuel price increases, an unpredictable cost component for the Company,
are expected to be mitigated by a variable rate fuel surcharge as previously
discussed in the results of operations.

unions, primarily the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT). The current
agreement with the IBT expires on March 31, 2003.

Effective May 30, 2001, holders of common stock of Roadway Express, Inc. became
holders of an identical number of shares of common stock of Roadway Corporation,
and Roadway Express, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Roadway
Corporation (the Reorganization). The Reorganization was effected by a merger
pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which
provides for the formation of a holding company structure without a vote of the
shareholders of the Company. The assets and liabilities of Roadway Corporation
and its subsidiaries were the same on a consolidated basis after the merger as
the assets and the liabilities of Roadway Express, Inc. immediately before the
merger.

Roadway Express, Inc. and subsidiaries (Roadway Express) provides long-haul,
less-than-truckload (LTL) freight services in North America and offers services
to more than 100 countries worldwide in a single business segment.

Roadway Next Day Corporation (Roadway Next Day), formerly known as Arnold
Industries, Inc. (Arnold), was acquired on November 30, 2001 and provides
regional next-day LTL, and truckload (TL) freight services in two business
segments, New Penn Motor Express, Inc. (New Penn) and Arnold Transportation
Services (ATS), respectively. On December 26, 2002, the Company entered into an
agreement to sell ATS, the TL subsidiary of Roadway Next Day. The transaction
was completed on January 23, 2003. No significant gain or loss occurred as a
result of this transaction. The Company has reported ATS as a discontinued
operation for all periods presented and Roadway Next Day now operates in one
business segment, regional next-day LTL (see Notes 3 and 4).

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION--The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

CASH EQUIVALENTS--The Company considers highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.


                                       18

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

DEPRECIATION--Depreciation of carrier operating property is computed by the
straight-line method based on the useful lives of the assets. The useful life of
structures ranges from 15 to 33 years, and equipment from 3 to 10 years. Major
maintenance expenditures that extend the useful life of carrier operating
equipment are capitalized and depreciated over 2 to 5 years.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their fair
value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The carrying value of the Company's senior term loan approximates fair value as
these financial instruments bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR or
the prime rate. The $225,000,000 in senior notes had an approximate fair value
of $254,421,000 at December 31, 2002, based on quoted market prices.

The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments as either assets or
liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. The Company's use of derivative
financial instruments is limited principally to interest rate swaps on certain
trailer leases as part of its overall risk management policy. The interest rate
swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, changes in the fair
value of interest rate swaps are recognized in other comprehensive income in the
statement of shareholders' equity until such time as the hedged items are
recognized in net income. Due to the Company's limited use of derivatives, the
fair value of these financial instruments, a liability of $326,000 net of tax,
has not been separately disclosed on the balance sheet (see Note 12).

RECEIVABLE SALES--The Company sells receivables in securitization transactions,
and retains an equity interest in the receivables pool, servicing rights, and a
cash reserve account. These constitute the retained interests in the securitized
receivables. The estimated fair value is based on the present value of the
expected cash flows, which approximates face value adjusted for allowances for
anticipated losses (see Note 13).

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS--The Company sells services and extends credit
based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, without requiring
collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each
customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit
losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses.


                                       19

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

GOODWILL--Goodwill represents costs in excess of net assets of acquired
businesses, which prior to January 1, 2002, was amortized using the
straight-line method primarily over a period of 20 years.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires the purchase method for all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also clarifies the criteria for
recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. Under SFAS No. 142,
separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will
continue to be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 also eliminates
the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for assets
acquired after June 30, 2001, and all other goodwill on January 1, 2002.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company had net unamortized goodwill of
$283,910,000, including $269,093,000 of goodwill recorded in connection with the
Company's acquisition of Roadway Next Day on November 30, 2001 (see Note 3).
Amortization of previously existing goodwill resulting from the Company's
earlier acquisitions was ended effective January 1, 2002. Goodwill amortization
was zero in 2002, $967,000 in 2001, and $826,000 in 2000. As a result of
adopting SFAS No. 142, the elimination of goodwill amortization would have
resulted in an increase to net income of $560,000 ($0.03 per share-diluted) in
2001 and $475,000 ($0.03 per share-diluted) in 2000.

The Company completed the required transitional goodwill impairment test under
SFAS No. 142 for all reporting units effective June 15, 2002 which did not
indicate any impairment. As a result of finalizing the Roadway Next Day purchase
price allocation during the fourth quarter, goodwill reflected in the ATS
segment preliminary purchase price allocation was reallocated to the New Penn
segment. Accordingly, all goodwill resulting from the Roadway Next Day
acquisition has been recorded in the New Penn business segment at December 31,
2002. The Company updated its goodwill impairment test at December 31, 2002 due
to the reallocation of goodwill previously recorded in the ATS business segment.
The performance of the updated impairment test did not indicate any impairment
of goodwill. The Company expects to perform the required annual goodwill
impairment assessment on a recurring basis at the end of the second quarter each
year, or more frequently should any indicators of possible impairment be
identified.

CASUALTY CLAIMS PAYABLE--Casualty claims payable represent management's
estimates of claims for property damage and public liability and workers'
compensation. The Company manages casualty claims with assistance of a third
party administrator (TPA) along with oversight by a major risk management
provider. The Company is self-insured for these claims with retention generally
limited to $3,000,000. The liability balances are closely monitored by the
Company and its TPA using adjuster evaluations of each claim and a statistical
benchmarking database for analysis of reserve accuracy. Expenses resulting from
workers' compensation claims are included in salaries, wages, and benefits in
the accompanying statements of consolidated income.


                                       20

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

REVENUE RECOGNITION--The Company recognizes revenue as earned on the date of
freight delivery to the consignee. Related expenses are recognized as incurred.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION-- In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. The Company
has adopted the disclosure provision of SFAS No. 148 as of December 31, 2002.

As permitted under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and
SFAS No. 148, the Company has elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company has granted stock awards that have
reduced net income as follows: 2002-$3,900,000; 2001-$2,115,000; and
2000-$1,495,000. In addition, the Company has issued stock options for which
compensation expense is not recognized in the Company's financial statements
because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the
market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant (see Note 11).



















                                       21

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Under SFAS No. 123, compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on
the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. Had
compensation expense been determined under SFAS No. 123 for the Company's stock
options, based on the Black-Scholes value at the grant date, the Company's
actual net income would have been reduced by $1,059,000, $947,000 and $931,000
in 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively. Pro forma net income and earnings per
share would have been as follows:

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION--Income statement items are translated at average
currency exchange rates. Transaction gains and losses are included in
determining net income. All balance sheet accounts of foreign operations are
translated at the current exchange rate as of the end of the period. The
resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a separate component of
shareholders' equity.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--The preparation of the financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the period, the reported amount of assets and
liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS--In the event that facts and circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of intangibles and long-lived assets or other
assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If
an evaluation were required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flow
associated with the asset would be compared to the asset's carrying amount to
determine if a write-down is required. No impairment charge was required for any
period presented.

RECLASSIFICATIONS--Certain items in the 2001 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS-- In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which
establishes a single accounting model to be used for the impairment or disposal
of long-lived assets.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144. The Company has
reported the operations of ATS as a discontinued operation in the accompanying
financial statements and, unless otherwise stated, the notes to the financial
statements for all years presented exclude the amounts related to this
discontinued operation.




                                       23

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS-- In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 is effective for the
Company's financial statements beginning January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS
No. 145 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 will be effective for the Company for
disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this
standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.


3. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On November 30, 2001, the Company acquired Arnold Industries, Inc. (Arnold),
subsequently named Roadway Next Day Corporation, for cash consideration of
$559,839,000, including direct acquisition costs. Included in the acquired
assets of Arnold was $50,763,000 in cash, which was used to partially finance
the acquisition. Also on November 30, 2001, concurrent with the acquisition of
Arnold, the Company sold Arnold's logistics business (ARLO) to members of the
ARLO management team for $105,010,000 in cash. The net acquisition consideration
of $427,160,000, which included $23,094,000 in income taxes paid by the Company
primarily as a result of the sale of ARLO, was financed with borrowings under a
new credit facility, proceeds from an accounts receivable securitization, the
issuance of $225,000,000 in senior notes, and available cash.

Roadway Next Day operates in the motor carrier industry, principally in the
eastern United States, and provides next-day LTL and TL services. Roadway Next
Day's trucking activities are conducted by its subsidiaries, New Penn and ATS.
New Penn is a leading regional next-day ground LTL carrier operating primarily
in New England and the Middle Atlantic states. ATS operates as an inter-regional
irregular route and dedicated TL carrier, conducting operations east of the
Mississippi and in the southwestern United States.

The acquisition of Roadway Next Day was accounted for as a purchase business
combination and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were
recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of
the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired, totaling
approximately $269,093,000, has been recorded as goodwill. The purchase price
allocation reflected in these financial statements for the acquisition has been
finalized and is based in part on the results of an independent appraisal of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Upon the finalization of the valuation
process, $5,630,000 of the amount initially classified as goodwill in the
financial statements was reclassified to other tangible and identifiable
intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values at the date of
the acquisition.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 26, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to sell ATS to a
management group led by the unit's president and a private equity firm, for
approximately $55,000,000. The ATS business segment was acquired as part of the
Company's purchase of Roadway Next Day in November 2001, but did not fit the
Company's strategic focus of being a LTL carrier. The transaction was completed
on January 23, 2003. The Company did not recognize a significant gain or loss as
a result of this transaction.

The Company has reported the operations of ATS as a discontinued operation in
the accompanying financial statements and, unless otherwise stated, the notes to
the financial statements for all years presented exclude the amounts related to
this discontinued operation.

The following table presents revenue and income from the discontinued operation
for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. The year ended December 31, 2001
includes only one month of operations since ATS was acquired on November 30,
2001.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company provides freight services primarily in two business segments:
Roadway Express and New Penn. Prior to the acquisition of Roadway Next Day in
November 2001, the Company operated only in the Roadway Express segment. The
Roadway Express segment provides long-haul LTL freight services in North America
and offers services to more than 100 countries worldwide. The New Penn segment
provides regional, next-day ground LTL freight service operating primarily in
New England and the Middle Atlantic states.

The Company's reportable segments are identified based on differences in
products, services, and management structure. The measurement basis of segment
profit or loss is operating income. Business segment assets consist primarily of
customer receivables, net carrier operating property, and goodwill.

MULTI-EMPLOYER PLANS

The Company charged to operations $174,007,000 in 2002, $165,331,000 in 2001,
and $174,253,000 in 2000 for contributions to multi-employer pension plans for
employees subject to labor contracts. The Company also charged to operations
$178,955,000 in 2002, $163,775,000 in 2001, and $165,018,000 in 2000 for
contributions to multi-employer plans that provide health and welfare benefits
to employees and certain retirees who are or were subject to labor contracts.
These amounts were determined in accordance with provisions of industry labor
contracts. Under provisions of the Multi-employer Pension Plan Amendment Act of
1980, total or partial withdrawal from a plan would result in an obligation to
fund a portion of the plan's unfunded vested liability. Management has no
intention of changing operations so as to subject the Company to any material
obligation.

The Company has adjusted the expected long-term return on plan assets from 9.50%
to 8.50% effective January 1, 2003.

For measurement purposes, the Company assumed a weighted-average annual rate of
increase in the per capita cost of health care benefits (health care cost trend
rate) of 11.5% for 2002 declining gradually to 5.0% in 2010 and thereafter.

A decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate has a significant effect
on the amounts reported. For example, a one percentage point decrease in the
assumed health care cost trend rate would decrease the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation by $5,392,000 and the service and interest
cost components by $582,000 as of December 31, 2002. A one percentage point
increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate would have no effect on the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation or the service and interest cost
components. The Company's policy regarding the management of health care costs
passes the increases beyond a fixed threshold to the plan participants.

The Company charged to operations $10,321,000 in 2002, $10,964,000 in 2001, and
$10,395,000 in 2000 relating to its defined contribution 401(k) plans. These
plans cover employees not subject to labor contracts. Annual contributions are
related to the level of voluntary employee participation.

11. STOCK PLANS

STOCK GRANTED UNDER THE MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN AND EQUITY OWNERSHIP
PLAN

The Company's Management Incentive Stock Plan and Equity Ownership Plan (the
Stock Plans) authorize the granting of common stock at the discretion of the
Board of Directors to officers and certain key employees of the Company. The
Board approved grants of 248,000 shares in 2002, 263,000 shares in 2001, and
189,000 shares in 2000. These grants are recorded as the unearned portion of
restricted stock awards. The grants, originally recorded at market price, are
amortized to compensation expense over the period for which the stock is
restricted. Compensation expense relating to the Stock Plans amounted to
$6,890,000 in 2002, $3,647,000 in 2001, and $2,600,000 in 2000.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

Under the Company's Employees' Stock Purchase Plan, all full-time eligible
employees may purchase shares of the Company's common stock with up to 10% of
their respective compensation through payroll deductions. The purchase price
under the plan is 85% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock.
Under this plan, employees purchased 149,000 shares in 2002, 171,000 shares in
2001, and 198,000 shares in 2000.

UNION STOCK PLAN

The Company's Union Stock Plan provides stock awards to employees subject to
labor contracts who meet the eligibility and performance requirements of
providing a safe, reliably staffed, and injury-free work environment. The
Company allocated 50,000 shares in 2002, 20,000 shares in 2001, and 100,000
shares in 2000 for grants under this plan.

years. The number of shares of common stock that may be issued or transferred
under the plan may not exceed 2,000,000. No options were granted under this plan
in 2002, 2001 or 2000.

Under the Nonemployee Directors' Equity Ownership Plan, the Compensation
Committee is authorized to make awards of stock options and restricted shares.
Stock options vest one year from date of grant. The number of shares of common
stock that may be issued under the plan may not exceed 100,000.

Under the Nonemployee Directors' Stock Option Plan, directors can elect to
invest all or a portion of their retainers in stock options. These stock options

12. LEASES

The Company leases certain terminals and revenue equipment under noncancellable
operating leases requiring minimum future rentals aggregating $139,520,000
payable as follows: 2003--$48,639,000; 2004--$32,633,000; 2005--$22,541,000;
2006--$13,211,000; 2007--$9,262,000 and thereafter $13,234,000. Rental expense
for operating leases was $55,199,000, $50,761,000, and $45,445,000, for 2002,
2001, and 2000, respectively.

The Company has interest rate swap agreements with major commercial banks to fix
the interest rate of its trailer leases from variable interest rates principally
based on LIBOR. The value of the leases upon which the payments are based was
not changed. The agreements, which expire in 2003 and 2004, fix the Company's
interest costs at rates varying from 5.62% to 6.39% on leases with a notional
amount of $14,400,000.

The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps at December 31, 2002 is a
liability of approximately $326,000, net of income taxes, and has been
determined using proprietary financial models developed by the lending
institutions which are counterparties to the swap arrangements. As a result of
declining interest rates throughout 2002, the Company recognized incremental
interest expense of approximately $734,000, which is included in interest
expense in the accompanying financial statements. The ineffective portions of
the Company's interest rate swap agreements were not material.

On November 21, 2001, Roadway Express entered into an accounts receivable
securitization agreement which matures in 2004, to finance up to $200,000,000
(total commitment) of its domestic accounts receivable. Under this arrangement,
undivided interests in Roadway Express' domestic accounts receivable are sold
through a special purpose entity (SPE), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, without recourse, to a financial conduit. Undivided interests in the
accounts receivable pool aggregating zero in 2002 and $100,000,000 in 2001 were
sold under this arrangement. The proceeds were used to partially fund the
acquisition of Roadway Next Day and are reported as financing cash flows in the
Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows.

The accounts receivable are sold at a discount from the face amount to pay
investor yield (LIBOR) on the undivided interests sold to the conduit, for
utilization fees (0.25% of the undivided interest sold), and for program fees
(0.50% of the total commitment). The discount from the face amount for accounts
receivable sold by Roadway Express in 2002 and 2001 aggregated $6,384,000 and
$585,000 respectively and was directly offset by a gain on allowance for
accounts receivable discounts upon the consolidation of the SPE. The interest
expense recognized in conjunction with the sale of accounts receivable was
$3,088,000 in 2002 and $317,000 in 2001.

The arrangement provides that new Roadway Express accounts receivable are
immediately sold to the SPE. The Company, through its SPE, retains the risk of
credit loss on the receivables and, accordingly the full amount of the allowance
for doubtful accounts has been retained on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The
conduit has collection rights to recover payments from the receivables in the
designated pool and Roadway Express retains collection and administrative
responsibilities for the undivided interests in the pool.

The following transactions occurred between Roadway Express and the SPE in the
years 2002 and 2001, respectively: proceeds from the accounts receivable sales,
$2,650,810,000, and $493,673,000; servicing fees received, $1,529,000, and
$150,000; payments received on investment in accounts receivable,
$2,598,576,000, and $328,696,000.

At December 31, 2002, the Company has in place a senior revolving credit
facility with a sublimit for letters of credit that expires November 30, 2006.
The original amount of the senior revolving credit facility was $150,000,000
with a $100,000,000 sublimit for letters of credit, which was amended on August
6, 2002. The result of the amendment increased the senior revolving credit
facility to $215,000,000 and increased the sublimit for letters of credit to
$165,000,000. Pricing under the revolving credit facility is at a fluctuating
rate based on the alternate base rate as determined by Credit Suisse First
Boston (CSFB) or LIBOR, plus an additional margin of 0.50% and 1.50%,
respectively. In addition, there is a commitment fee of 0.40% on undrawn
amounts. As of December 31, 2002, there were no amounts outstanding under the
revolving credit facility, but availability had been reduced by $112,162,000 as
a result of the issuance of letters of credit, primarily related to casualty
claims.

The credit facility also includes a $175,000,000 senior term loan, which was
drawn in full to partially fund the acquisition of Arnold. After-tax proceeds of
$75,000,000 from the sale of ARLO were used to pay down borrowings on this
facility in 2001. Pricing under the term loan is at a fluctuating rate based on
the alternate base rate as determined by CSFB or LIBOR, plus an additional
margin of 0.50% and 1.50%, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, $82,216,000
was outstanding under the term loan facility accruing interest at a rate of
LIBOR plus 1.50% (2.91% effective rate) with future quarterly installments
ranging from $2,426,000 in 2003 to $4,851,000 in 2006.

Also in connection with the acquisition of Roadway Next Day on November 30,
2001, the Company issued $225,000,000 of 8.25% senior notes due December 1,
2008. Interest is due semi-annually on June 1st and December 1st.

Under certain conditions, mandatory prepayments may be required under the credit
facility and the senior notes. A mandatory prepayment of $8,000,000 was made on
the senior term loan in 2002, related to the sale of ARLO. Additionally, a
mandatory prepayment of $24,000,000 was made on the senior term loan in January
2003 upon the completion of the sale of ATS, and has been included in the
current portion of long-term debt. Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for
the next four years are: 2003 - $33,703,000; 2004 - $12,937,000; 2005 -
$16,171,000; and 2006 - $19,405,000, at such time the senior term loan balance
will be zero.

14. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The credit facility borrowings and the senior notes rank equally and are secured
by a first-priority perfected lien on all of the capital stock of the Company's
direct subsidiaries and are also supported by guarantees provided by all of the
Company's current material subsidiaries and all future material subsidiaries.

In addition, the Company's Canadian subsidiary has $10,000,000 available for
borrowing under a secured revolving line of credit and bankers' acceptances.
Borrowings are payable upon demand and bear interest at either the bank's prime
lending rate, U.S. dollar base rate in Canada, or LIBOR plus 1.50% for periods
up to 180 days. At December 31, 2002, no amounts were outstanding on this
facility.

The financing arrangements include covenants that require the Company to comply
with certain financial ratios, including leverage and fixed-charge coverage
ratios, and maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth. Interest
expense, which approximates interest paid, amounted to $23,268,000 in 2002,
$2,751,000 in 2001, and $341,000 in 2000.


15. CONTINGENCIES

The Company has received notices from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
that it has been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (Superfund)
at certain hazardous waste sites. Such designations are made regardless of the
Company's limited involvement at each site. The claims for remediation have been
asserted against numerous other entities, which are believed to be financially
solvent and are expected to fulfill their proportionate share. The Company
accrues for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations when
such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Based on its investigations,
the Company believes that its obligation with regard to these sites is not
significant, although there can be no assurances in this regard.

The Company's former parent is currently under examination by the Internal
Revenue Service for tax years 1994 and 1995, years prior to the spin-off of the
Company. The IRS has proposed substantial adjustments for these tax years for
multi-employer pension plan deductions. The IRS is challenging the timing, not
the validity of these deductions. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate
outcome of this matter; however, its former parent intends to vigorously contest
these proposed adjustments.

Under a tax sharing agreement entered into by the Company and its former parent
at the time of the spin-off, the Company is obligated to reimburse the former
parent for any additional taxes and interest that relate to the Company's
business prior to the spin-off. The amount and timing of such payments is
dependent on the ultimate resolution of the former parent's disputes with the
IRS and the determination of the nature and extent of the obligations under the
tax sharing agreement. On January 16, 2003, the Company made a $14,000,000
payment to its former parent under the tax sharing agreement for taxes and
interest related to certain of the proposed adjustments for tax years 1994 and
1995.


                                       41

15. CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

We estimate the possible range of the remaining payments that may be due to the
former parent to be approximately $0 to $16,000,000 in additional taxes and $0
to $9,000,000 in related interest, net of tax benefit. The Company has
established certain reserves with respect to these proposed adjustments. There
can be no assurance, however, that the amount or timing of any liability of the
Company to the former parent will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations and financial position.

Various legal proceedings arising from the normal conduct of business are
pending but, in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these
matters will have no material adverse effect on the financial position or
results of operations of the Company.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP
Independent Auditors


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Roadway Corporation and Subsidiaries


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Roadway
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related
statements of consolidated income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Roadway
Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
